Costumes!

I love dressing up! I used to plan my costumes months in advance. I even had a costume party for my 20th birthday. I’m sure when we were all out that night with everyone dressed up as enthusiastically as me, others were thinking “Halloween is still 3 months away!” But I don’t like to buy my costumes, I love to make my own. I use store bought items, or just stuff around my house. Creativity can spark up some great idea’s.

I have made a dozen or so costumes. I was a dark Fairy the first year in this house, a masquerade with friends one year. My first year out of high school I convinced a friend to be Hue Hefner and I was a bunny, I painted my whole body silver (twice) to be a nymph, I had my dad make a whole wooden contraption in 30 minutes to make a last minute costume as a marionette, And last year I used as much candy as I could get a hold of to make a candy costume. This year wont be as impressive as the others as I will be more focused on a new baby in the house! But I still have a cute one ready to go anyways!

But here are some other fantastic idea’s from other people. I just love how creative people get this time of year.

The corpse Bride, Where’s Waldo, Mary Poppins, and Mrs, Frizzle! These people definitely deserved to win some big prizes! And they are all costumes you can copy using things around your house, or individual pieces from a costume store. I cant wait to see all the costumes this year!
